December 7th, 2002 -Jake- We lived on a 120-acre tree farm in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. We were a good 15 miles outside a small town, and it was probably the worst place to live if you preferred to be around people. Even visiting our neighbors was a solid half-mile hike, and in the winter, you could forget it. You could sled down the hill, I suppose, but you weren't coming back the same way. I loved riding my bike...
